Configuring for Network Management Applications
CDP
Enabling or Disabling CDP Operation on Individual Ports. In the
factory-default configuration, the switch has all ports enabled and transmit­
ting CDP packets. Disabling CDP on a port prevents that port from sending
outbound CDP packets and causes it to drop inbound CDP packets without
recording their data in the CDP Neighbors table. Suppose, for example, that
switches “A” and “B” in figure 11-18 (below) are running CDP, and that port
A1 on switch “A” is connected to port B5 on switch “B”. If you disable CDP on
port A1 of switch “A”, then switch “B” will no longer receive CDP packets from
switch “A” and switch “A” will drop the CDP packets it receives from switch
“B”.

(The switch "A" entry in the switch "B" CDP Neighbors table remains until the
cdp holdtime
(time-to-live; set in switch "B") expires. Until then, the
show cdp
neighbors command continues to list switch "A" on port B5 of switch "B".)
